Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS ANKARA 006724 SIPDIS STATE FOR AC/ISN, USUN FOR UNFCDEL E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PARM, PREL, MNUC, AORC, KNNP, TU SUBJECT: TURKEY SUPPORTIVE OF THE U.S. IN 58TH UNGA FIRST COMMITTEE REF: STATE 295420 PolMilOff delivered reftel demarche on improving the operation of the UNGA First Committee to MFA Disarmament Head of Department Bulent Meric October 22. On October 24, Meric gave PolMilOff a "preliminary reaction," saying the text of resolution "looked fine." However, after having checked with the Turkish mission in New York, Meric learned that no consensus had yet emerged because the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) had numerous questionable amendment proposals. According to the Turkish UN mission, if the NAM continued with its "killer amendments" the US intended to withdraw its support for the resolution. So as not to be left in the embarrassing position of co-sponsoring the resolution after the US withdrew its support, Turkey was waiting to see how the resolution would look in the end. But, in general, Meric said Turkey's views on the issue were in line with Washington's. EDELMAN
